Out for a late afternoon walk in the Old Port of Montreal. A cruise ship was docked at the Grand Quai. Weekend boaters circled waiting for Lock #1 to open for the Lachine Canal. Families strolled, sat around the ponds, bungee jumpers jumped from a crane atop an old grain elevator. 82 F with a breeze

I highly recommend this memoir by Tony Fauci which is as much a personal memoir as it is a biography of the era bookended by the AIDs crisis and the Covid 19 pandemic. He discusses the science, politics and humanity of the many health crisis that we’ve faced since the 80s. Audible vers is A+
